My electric kettle has been a revelation. My ex-aunt-in-law gave me some really nice tea because she didn't know what else to get me and she's a flight attendant who flies the China route. Then I got a teapot. Then the kettle. Now I have a tea habit that would be cost prohibitive if I didn't prefer weaker tea. I really love my electric kettle.
Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Interesting days are sometimes overrated. Sometimes you need a day to just do mundane, non-taxing stuff, and stare at the wall. Or out a window. Or at the tv.
Coherency improving. I think.

I don't have the tea habit some b.org folk have, but a former student introduced me to the joys of good oolong tea a couple of years ago and that's been my go-to tea ever since.

I love my electric kettle as well. I only drink coffee at home on the weekends (between having to spend time making it and needing a third hand between my purse and my briefcase), so I use a Melitta cone and the electric kettle is perfect for that.

I used to swap to tea when allergies and such demanded Sudafed. Here it's enough that I just generally swapped to tea. Plus I only drink coffee with some kind of dairy and TJ's is far. So, tea. Oolong family, generally. The jasmine is green though.
I should really look into a Melitta cone. I still love coffee but even half a pot is way too much for my body and I'll drink it all if I make it.

Oh, I know! I bought myself a fancy Cuisinart kettle on sale that has preset buttons for different temperatures and now I order way more tea from Adagio Teas than I need.

Of course! Because we share the same tastes so very very often.

I've spent the day catching up here, and it took longer than I thought it would. Worth the investment, and now I hope to keep up.

I had a meeting with a student at 11 today and she was amazed at how awake I was! I said I have been awake for 5 hours! 11 is the best time of the day. Most of the time my students see me after my day job, and I am a draggy tired mess.
